The Arch.

The gentle curvature of arches fosters a sense of calm, openness, and expansiveness, enhancing the perception of height and spaciousness in a space. Their subtle form can smoothly direct the flow of movement, with their inherent softness contributing to a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.

The iconic floor lamp Arco is a perfect example. It revealed to me the potential of how a single, small furniture piece can transform the entire ambiance of a living room, and this became my key inspiration.
